Event Calendar

We invite you to join us in Ottawa, Canada's capital city, for the 138th Annual Meeting of the American Fisheries Society (AFS) at the Ottawa Congress Centre and Westin Hotel August 17-21, 2008.

The theme of the meeting is "Fisheries in Flux: How Do We Ensure Our Sustainable Future". This theme reflects President Mary Fabrizio's Program of Work for her year in office, and addresses the ongoing challenge of confronting change when managing fisheries.

Sustainability in all aspects of life, not just fisheries, is a growing area of focus for all. Smith-Root, Inc. is consistently looking for ways become "greener" in all aspects of our operations. We have eliminated the use of hazardous materials, greatly increased our recycling program, and have found local vendors to decrease travel. These are a few examples of Smith-Root's commitment to sustainability. This conference will have a much grander scale and will ask all attendees: What are we doing to ensure a sustainable future and what changes need to be made in our management of aquatic ecosystems? We look forward to learning and sharing at this event.
